Best Maui Accommodations For Families

 

Wailea Ekahi Village

Wailea Ekahi Village offers a picture-perfect setting for a family vacation. Directly overlooking Keawakapu Beach, this dreamy property offers a range of accommodation options—from studios to four-bedroom homes—for families of all sizes. Spend your days hanging by one of the property’s four pools, playing on the sand, or exploring nearby activities in Wailea. Luaus, shops, and restaurants are all within walking distance! Book direct for the best possible price.

 

Kihei Akahi

Family fun days are easy when you stay at Kihei Akahi. This condo offers a prime location across the street from Kamaole Beach Park II—a popular spot for snorkeling, sunbathing, boogie boarding, and tidepooling. Some of Maui’s best (and most kid-friendly) restaurants and cafes are just a short walk away—including the Cinnamon Roll Place, 808 Deli, and Coconut’s Fish Cafe. On property, spend chill days by the pool or hit the tennis court for some friendly family competition. Kihei Akahi offers one and two-bedroom condos and sleeps up to six.

 

Fairmont Kea Lani

Family vacation dreams come true at Fairmont Kea Lani. This luxury Wailea resort is set on the dazzling Polo Beach, which usually has calm conditions—perfect for boogie boarding and snorkeling. But your kids might be more interested in the pool, with basketball hoops and a 140-foot water slide. Out of the water, there’s always something to keep your family occupied. The hotel offers endless guest activities, from koi feeding to ukulele lessons and lei making in the on-site cultural center.

Unsure about cramming your family into a tiny hotel room? Fairmont is Maui’s only all-suite and villa hotel, so you can rest easy (literally)—in your 860+ square foot suite.

 

Hale Manu

Treat your kids to an unforgettable experience at Hale Manu. This two-bedroom cottage is located three miles from Hana Town, one of Maui’s most remote and lush areas. Days here revolve around adventure and relaxation. Explore Hana’s wild beaches, hiking trails, and waterfalls, or kick back on the couch, read a book, and listen to the sound of the wind and the waves. Nights yield epic stargazing opportunities! Staying in Hana offers the perfect chance to unplug with your family sans cell service—as long as you don’t share the WiFi password with your brooding teens.

 

Elikapeka Suite at Sands of Kahana

For families seeking space, comfort, and convenience, the Elikapeka Suite at Sands of Kahana is a dream come true. This sprawling 1,800+ square foot condo features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open floor plan—perfect for gathering together after a long day of exploring. Parents will love the gourmet kitchen and two large lanais with ocean and mountain views, while kids will appreciate quick access to the beach and pool. The condo is even stocked with beach gear like chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler! There’s also an on-site restaurant (Captain Jacks, formerly located on Front Street in Lahaina), plus two eateries and a mini-mart directly across the street.

 

Kulakane

If you’re looking for an affordable, kid-friendly getaway, set your sights on Kulakane. This quaint condo complex is set directly on the oceanfront in Honokowai in West Maui. Enjoy all the comforts of home, including a full kitchen, WiFi, and private bedrooms. Kids will love watching for sea turtles or whales (seasonally) from the oceanfront lawn and playing in the pool at sunset. Honokowai Beach Park is right around the corner and offers a protected tide pool for kids to splash around in. Kulakane is only 5 minutes from Kaanapali Beach, where family-friendly activities, shopping, and dining abound!

 

Mana Kai

Mana Kai is one of Kihei’s most desirable accommodations. This condo/hotel hybrid directly overlooks Keawakapu Beach—a veritable playground for families when conditions are calm. Rent snorkel and surf equipment from the on-site shops for endless fun in the sun, or laze by the oceanfront pool. The Mana Kai offers both hotel and condo accommodations, but the condos are more suited to families, with full kitchens, private lanais, and jaw-dropping views. There’s even an on-site general store, so fussy demands from the kids are easily met with a trip downstairs. Plus, South Maui’s best restaurants, shops, and beaches are just a short drive in either direction.

 

Polynesian Shores

Polynesian Shores is the perfect setting for a quiet family getaway. Every condo here has an ocean view, so you can relish seasonal whale watching and daily sunsets from the comfort of your private lanai. The beautiful grounds invite you to spend time outside—whether it be playing with the kids on the oceanfront lawn, cooking al fresco meals on the BBQ grills, or soaking up the views from the pool. The largest condominiums at Polynesian Shores have three bedrooms and sleep up to eight, which is ideal for large families or a multi-generational vacation.
